"When I have seen a huge congestion of people on embankment of Hamble, at me have intercepted a throat. I was scary proud and flattered and deeply grateful to all, who wanted to meet me, but I understood and I understand that desire to see me, Chey Blyth, was just one of the reasons that led them there. Not my personality was the main thing, and something another - I kind of personified ability of mankind to throw a challenge to danger and to win. So left that such great honor has fallen to my lot. That is, I floated not for nothing. We need romanticism. Mankind has always been in need of romance ..." [9].

On July 13, 1806 'Neva' has left Portsmouth and on August 5, 1806 has come to Kronstadt.

On August 19, 1806 "Hope" also has come to Kronstadt.

The expedition, in general, has successfully carried out the tasks. The circumnavigations were completed successfully!

6. Completion of the round-the-world expedition and Alexander I. Instead of an epilogue.

"In what we have come admiration when Kronstadt to our eyes has opened!' - Korobitsyn shared the last impressions. - '(...) In 1/2 9 го to hour we have reached the Kronstadt raid and in distance of 1/2 mile from the harbor have come to anchor. At 9 o'clock we saluted from the ship for the Kronstadt Fortress 13 th shots of guns, for which we were equally answered with an equal number of shots; walls of the Kronstadt harbor have been filled by a great number of the audience of both sexes, and the ship our at the same hour was surrounded boats coming from Kronstadt" [2].

Alexander I "has wished to visit Kronstadt and the "Neva". (...) Early in the morning from St. Petersburg there has arrived Alexander I. He has passed across the main deck, has greeted the officers and sailors. In a cabin of the commander he examined wonders: sinks, corals, wooden hand-made articles, masks from the Russian America. He was surprised to learn that until now on the ship in the barrels there was preserved the corned beef (a salt-cured beef) prepared three years ago.

- And what of it is edible? - Alexander I has asked sickly-sweet.

- Your Majesty, yesterday for lunch, the team ate, and all are healthy, - has answered Lisyansky.

- Also it is possible to try?

- All right, Your Majesty, through a quarter of hour the buffet reception in the saloon will be prepared, - the commander has assured.

- Well Well, we will wait, - Alexander I continued to consider collections, and Korobitsyn has started to prepare a table.

Having tasted corned beef, crackers, the tsar have drunk waters taken in the tropics, and smacked his lips approvingly.

Soon after Alexander I's visit, Yury Fedorovich has learned about the imperial award - the Emperor granted him the order of Vladimir of the 3rd degree. He was urgently caused to St. Petersburg for delivery of an award. The decree read: "In honor of the zealous service of the Captain-Lieutenant Lisyansky, and the special works incurred by him in the commission of a safe voyage, by our will, we graciously presented him with the knight of the Order of St. Vladimir of the third degree ..."

After delivery of an award the minister of commerce Rumyantsev announced a financial reward:

- His Imperial Majesty commanded to give you an annual pension from the State Treasury three thousand rubles. But also, - Rumyantsev was coughed kindly - Russian-American Company grants you ten thousand as a sign of your merits before her.

On the same day to him was declared about assignment of a rank of Captain of the 2nd rank. A day passed, and imperial family came from Peterhof - Empress Maria Fedorovna with the great Princes Nicholas and Michael and the great Princesses Catherine and Anna. After survey of the ship, tea was served...

(...)

Lisyansky has handed over the ship and heat has said goodbye to crew. Officers have presented him a gold epee with an inscription on a hilt: "Gratitude of team of the Neva ship' [2].

In general, there is an impression that the Emperor Alexander I treated to Yu.F. Lisyansky not badly. Perhaps, concerning the Emperor to Lisyansky there was a respect. And, maybe, it was satisfaction with success: 'I have made the right choice'.

Allegedly Napoleon at a meeting with Alexander I in Tilsit hinted that the German captain Kruzenshtern headed the first global cruise of the Russian seamen [2]. Probably, the global cruise of 1803 - 1806 disturbed Napoleon; he, maybe, in this event has felt some unpleasant foreshadow.

"Upon returning from cruising, Yuri Fyodorovich was announced about a new appointment - the commander of the crews" of all the personal yachts of his Imperial Majesty "[2].
